Lava lamps to make another comeback

The lava lamp looks set to make yet another comeback. British lighting firm, Mathmos, has been producing this most kitsch of retro classics since 1963. Creative director, Cressida Granger, commissioned product designer Ross Lovegrove to create an updated version for the 21st century. The result, the Fluidium, was given its launch on-line on Tuesday, at its own Mathmos website, www.mathmos-fluidium.com.
